The intensities, colors \u0026amp; shapes of auroral displays are directly related to each Solar Cycle’s output.  The comparison above shows the decline of Cycle #21, one of the largest on record, when on any clear to partly cloudy night aurora displays were vivid \u0026amp; powerful. Even when cloudy, the clouds were backlit with the colors of auroral displays above.  Sadly I began photographing aurora during the waning years of that cycle.  Cycles #22 \u0026amp; #23, (1989 \u0026amp; 2001 Solar Maximums) though not as large geomagnetically as Cycle #21, had several of the largest X-class solar flares \u0026amp; auroral displays on record. By comparison, Cycle #24 was exceptionally weak, though there were a handful of beautiful auroral displays across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coming solar-storm output of our massive star \u0026amp; subsequent auroral events above Earth for the remainder of Solar Cycle #25 are absolutely unpredictable. Solar Cycle #25 is presently entering the decline from Solar Maximum, estimated by those who know, to have already arrived mid-2025.  Solar Minimum for Solar Cycle #25 is theorized to occur about December 2030.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Aurora Collection ™\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Parkhurst","offers":[{"title":"24x38","offer_id":48043065901281,"sku":"aurora-color-palette-collage-24x38","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/3691\/7473\/files\/Aurora_Color_Palette_Web.jpg?v=1777597652","url":"https:\/\/thealaskacollection.com\/products\/aurora-color-palette-collage","provider":"The Alaska Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
